class Entry(object):
    """An Entry in the section

    An entry corresponds to a single node in the device-tree description
    of the section. Each entry ends up being a part of the final section.
    Entries can be placed either right next to each other, or with padding
    between them. The type of the entry determines the data that is in it.

    This class is not used by itself. All entry objects are subclasses of
    Entry.

    Attributes:
        section: Section object containing this entry
        node: The node that created this entry
        offset: Offset of entry within the section, None if not known yet (in
            which case it will be calculated by Pack())
        size: Entry size in bytes, None if not known
        pre_reset_size: size as it was before ResetForPack(). This allows us to
            keep track of the size we started with and detect size changes
        uncomp_size: Size of uncompressed data in bytes, if the entry is
            compressed, else None
        contents_size: Size of contents in bytes, 0 by default
        align: Entry start offset alignment relative to the start of the
            containing section, or None
        align_size: Entry size alignment, or None
        align_end: Entry end offset alignment relative to the start of the
            containing section, or None
        pad_before: Number of pad bytes before the contents when it is placed
            in the containing section, 0 if none. The pad bytes become part of
            the entry.
        pad_after: Number of pad bytes after the contents when it is placed in
            the containing section, 0 if none. The pad bytes become part of
            the entry.
        data: Contents of entry (string of bytes). This does not include
            padding created by pad_before or pad_after. If the entry is
            compressed, this contains the compressed data.
        uncomp_data: Original uncompressed data, if this entry is compressed,
            else None
        compress: Compression algoithm used (e.g. 'lz4'), 'none' if none
        orig_offset: Original offset value read from node
        orig_size: Original size value read from node
        missing: True if this entry is missing its contents
        allow_missing: Allow children of this entry to be missing (used by
            subclasses such as Entry_section)
        external: True if this entry contains an external binary blob
